How To Make Your Own Facial Masks and Scrubs?


Facial masks are the perfect place to start for beginners, because they are simple, and all you need to achieve is a pleasant texture you can work with. A good texture is usually smooth, with no visible lumps, and of an adequate thickness that will allow spreading with minimal dripping. Thickeners of choice will come right out of your pantry, for example, ground oats, almond meal, rice powder, cornstarch, cornmeal, and other such ingredients.

Because facial masks are often extemporaneous preparations, meaning they are to be used right away, you do not need to worry about preservation. Just mix the ingredients, apply the mix, and let your skin soak in the nutrients at the peak of their concentration. It is usually okay to refrigerate the leftovers if you plan to treat yourself to another mask during the same week before the mixture starts to lose moisture and antioxidants.

If your preparation is a little runny, you might either use more thickener or simply spread it between double layers of gauze, like making a jam sandwich, and apply the gauze to your face. You may need to precut the double gauze in strips and circles to cover forehead, neck, and cheeks: four rectangles for the forehead and neck and four circles for the cheeks. Sitting in a recliner chair can help keep gauze pads in place.

Contact time for a mask is usually 10“15 minutes, and a silicone spatula can come in handy when it is time to remove your mask, before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.

Try to find time for a nutritional mask at least once a week (twice a week if you feel that your skin needs a little extra plumping or at the change of seasons).

Masks can also serve as a vehicle for facial scrubs. The addition of an exfoliating agent transforms a mask into a two-in-one mask and scrub. Examples of exfoliating agents are almond meal, semolina, rice beads, and clay, among others.

We asked a few people how to How to Get Rid of Razor Bumps and this is their answer. 1. Desiree Oxendine, Esthetician I don't use old razor blades and I always use proper care when I'm actually using a blade. Prep your skin by allowing some steam from the shower, or even steam from a steamer if you want. The steam helps to soften the hair follicle, making it easier to extract the hair, which in turn helps to aid in the prevention of bumps. Then you want to use and exfoliating cleanser on the area. Make sure you rinse well. Use a gentle cleanser to clean the area and make sure to rinse well. Step away from running water, use a moisturizing shave cream. Something that is more like a lotion rather than a shaving mousse. For every stroke of hair removed be sure to clean the blade off so you have a fresh blade clean of any hairs for the next stroke. Do this until finished. When you have removed all the hair you want gone, go ahead and rinse off the area with Luke warm wat
